Takuboku collapsed after coughing up blood. Kayo brings him a client named Tamaki. Takuboku turns down the request once, but fascinated by Tamaki's perspective on life and death, and androgynous charm, he takes the case. Tamaki had a deep connection to the "bat-man," the acrobat, Kagami, but, because of the accident that caused Kagami's death, Tamaki is now being threatened by Kagami's younger brother. Meanwhile, Kyousuke can't restrain his anxiety for Takuboku who is writing poems that smell of death.
